When: Thursday, February 16th, 2011

And as you can see, I’ve taken a shine to doing my photos indoors as of late.  Taking the actual photos using my tripod and remote is a snap, but the editing process takes considerably more time.  However, if I have to choose between an extra 30 minutes of editing or frozen fingers and toes, my extremities are going to win every time!

There is just one pesky (but admittedly adorable) little problem that I have to deal with…

I tend to smile in all my photos anyway, but it was really hard to keep a straight face with this guy mocking watching me in the background.

Closet Confection: Seventeenth Amendment

When: Wednesday, February 15th, 2011

Where: The daily grind

What: Sweater (Rugby), jeans (Forever 21), boots (thrifted via Beacon’s Closet), hat (self-knit)

Soooo um, I originally intended for this hat to be a beret, but I guess I underestimated the size of my dome…

Also, I realized about half-way into the project that I have no idea how to even make a beret (I’m still a knitting newbie).

In any case, the pompom makes me really happy.  Thinking about grad school and possibly studying for the GMAT… not so much.

After being on the waiting list forever, we finally got a storage space in the basement of our apartment building!

Sorry if that was anti-climactic for some of you folks, but I couldn’t be more thrilled.  Anyone who’s familiar with NYC real estate knows that storage space comes at a high-premium, so I consider myself super-lucky.

I spent the better part of last weekend carefully placing my shoes into boxes, neatly arranging books and dvds, and deftly packing my out-of-season garments.  Redecorating my apartment has been on my short-list of priorities for a while now, but I first needed to clear out all of the clutter to get a handle on the situation.  With the yucky part out of the way, I can now move on to the fun stuff!

P.S. I linked this post up with Inside Jewelscapes!
